Hometown - Rea Garvey

Falling down the streets of Marigold

Follow my feet where they go

Thinkin' 'bout a home I used to know

It’s like a door’s been slammed closed

I’ll never fix my life till now

Colors sensing your movement now

Money might get you a seat in the front row

But it won’t buy you what I know

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I hear the music coming through the floorboards

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You said music don’t live here anymore

Whatever happened to my hometown?

Part of growing up was falling down

We used to dance until the morning light

We used to live, we used to love life

Whatever happened to my hometown?

Got knocked out but we ain’t coming around

We used to burn until the morning light

Now we’re just working for the shirt and tie

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Now we’re just working for the shirt and tie

Oh, oh, oh, oh

But it’s not right

Crawling up your life in a sleeping bag

Setting up your tent on the main drag

There was a day I though I understood

Now I see my own face underneath the same hood

Did we loose what we were coming from?

We used to sing till our voices were gone

Drinking our fill from a half-filled cup

Turning it up 'cause it’s not enough

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I hear the music coming through the floorboards

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You said music don’t live here anymore

Whatever happened to my hometown?

Part of growing up was falling down

We used to dance until the morning light

We used to live, we used to love life

Whatever happened to my hometown?

Got knocked out but we ain’t coming around

We used to burn until the morning light

Now we’re just working for the shirt and tie

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Now we’re just working for the shirt and tie

Oh, oh, oh, oh

But it’s not right

Whatever happened to my hometown?

Got knocked out but we ain’t coming around

We used to burn until the morning light

Now we’re just working for the shirt and tie

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Now we’re just working for the shirt and tie

Oh, oh, oh, oh

But it’s not right
